Sounds you are looking to hire competitive coders not software engineers,

I would love to see data about correlation between competitive programming competence and actual software engineering competence. I would naively assume there is a big positive signal, but it is pure speculation.

  • Very low correlation...A bit like pro soccer player vs soccer acrobatics street performer...Drone-racing pilot vs aerospace engineer certifying a commercial airframe...
